Space Rogues

2017

Fans of Farscape and Killjoys will love the crew of the Ghost. Wil Calder was an astronaut testing Earth’s first Faster Than Light engine in an experimental space pod when he ended up stranded on the opposite side of the solar system. Even if NASA could come to get him, they didn’t know where to look. But that was years ago. Now, Wil is a lonely intergalactic outlaw and smuggler, looking for a crew, because space is lonely and boring. He’s got a ship, now he needs some friends or at least people to work with, maybe boss around a little. What he isn’t looking for, is a plot that would destabilize the entire Galactic Commonwealth. A scheme he and his new crew aren't remotely qualified to stop, but who looks at qualifications these days? They can’t just turn their backs on the galaxy, can they? Between epic space battles, a quest for redemption and a daring heist, the crew uncovers a dangerous secret. If you tried to cross the Buck Rogers TV Show from the early 80's with the Guardians of the Galaxy movies, you'd come close to the rollicking good fun of this classic space opera. Join the crew of the Ghost on the first of many fantastic adventures.

Merry Garthflak, Wil

2018

Wil and the crew of the Ghost celebrate the holidays after their adventures in Space Rogues. As our favorite space smuggler and his crew sit down for a nice dinner Wil realizes there's a sector wide holiday he's been missing out on, and how similar it is to Christmas. Are they related? What does Gabe eat? What's jerlack anyway? So many questions. Of course no Space Rogues story would be complete without gun battles and sewers. What's up with that? oh and an old friend also pays the crew a visit, though it's not really a social call. Enjoy this short story, set right after the events of the first Space Rogues novel.

Big Ship, Lots of Guns

2018

Previously, on Space Rogues. Wil and the crew of the Ghost saved a bunch of star systems from war and helped keep them from joining the Galactic Commonwealth against their will, so now what? Not fame and fortune, that’s for sure!Thanks to an intergalactic crime boss and all around horrible being, there’s a price on their heads, so Wil and crew take jobs as privateers. Boring, but the pay is good, so there’s that. All good things come to an end though, and soon enough the team is dodging bounty hunters and mechanical monsters from a sushi nightmare, all because they answered a call from an old friend. The adventures continue in book two, and there are tons of laughs, a few tears (of sadness and joy) and the first ever Taco Tuesday in space! Space Tacos? ​Can Wil and the crew save the day one more time?

The Behemoth Job

2018

For the crew of the Ghost, it's never just a job The last one nearly cost them a member of the crew. Well, they fight spider-bears, meet Bennie’s family and learn more than anyone wants to about Wil’s digestive tract, and Wil reveals what he’s been hiding under his bed all this time. And then it gets interesting! An old boss calls on Wil, and while he’s reluctant to get back into working with Xarrix, the money is outstanding, and the job seems straightforward. With nothing else on their plates, the crew of the Ghost finds themselves in a sector of space deemed “untamable” by the Galactic Commonwealth, working with a warlord with some pretty big plans. Things, as you might expect, go downhill fast. Xarrix has learned from past experiences and assigns one of his own to stay aboard the Ghost to keep an eye on the crew and make sure they behave themselves, as if that was possible, worse yet it’s someone the team knows, and don’t particularly like. And then there’s the space battle and grilled cheese. Can Wil and the crew save the day one more time? There’s only one way to find out, get your copy today!

War and Peace

2020

Sometimes the jobs are simple, deliver a crate. Sometimes the crate is full of space bees and Bennie opens it. Gabe is back from his mission of leading a droid civil rights movement and seems to have been more or less successful. A new client approaches the crew, escort and protection detail for a summit. That sounds easy, and the pay is good. Turns out the Galactic Commonwealth is only partly run by the governing council… Things, as they do, turn sideways and now the Ghost is hiding from a super-advanced warship that shouldn’t exist. Turns out one of their previous clients is far more evil than they ever imagined, and someone they thought worthless turns out to be a valuable ally. Who doesn’t like learning new things?!
